Last update :

Ozawa Sake Brewery, established in 1702, is located in Ome City, Tokyo. Known for its sake brand "Sawanoi," the brewery is nestled in the upper reaches of the Tama River near the Ontake Gorge, a region renowned for its deep mountain canyons and rich natural beauty. The Sawanoi area, where the brewery originated, is named after its clear and abundant water, making it a famous water-rich region. The sake brand derives its name from this locale.
The brewery offers free daily tours, providing insights into the production process of "Sawanoi." Visitors can explore the brewery premises.

Tours are conducted daily at 1 PM and 2 PM (closed on Mondays) and are reservation-priority via phone. An Ozawa Sake Brewery staff member guides the tour, which lasts about 30 minutes. Visitors can see the "Genroku Warehouse" used since the brewery's founding, the "Kuramori Cellar" filled with aged sake, and the "Brewery's Well" used for brewing water.

After the tour, guests can visit the "Sawanoi Tasting Place," where over ten types of sake are available for tasting, and the "Seiryu Garden Sawanoi-en," selling Sawanoi sake and sake manju (sweet buns). It's recommended to enjoy sake and snacks while overlooking the scenic Ontake Gorge.
